Add initial support for scraping Pump.io activity streams
Use symlinks to represent alternate sites with the same structure (i.e.
same server software).
Symlinks are handy and concise, an alternative way would be to introduce
some equivalence mapping, like in the patch below, but I don't really
like that:

Use __DIR__ when building the stylesheet path name
This makes it possible to call tweeper.php with an absolute path.
For now the stylesheet are assumed to be in the same directory of the
program; I have no experience with distributing php software for command
line usage, so I don't know yet how to properly handle include paths.

Make stylesheet file name parametric
The host is encoded in the file name, this is in order to support more
sites with no changes to the code, all that is needed is just new
stylesheets with the host in their filename following the scheme will:
rss_converter_HOST.xsl
Where HOST has the meaning of the "host" field in the return value of
the PHP parse_url() function.
